I don't get it

So in Indiana reciently, a school that has let one of its students dress in womens clothes all year decides for his prom that he can't attend. Why? Becasue he's wearing womens clothes and that apparently violates the dress code for the prom. Now I ask you, if he was wearing a formal dress (which he was), what was he doing wrong?

I suppose if the dress code was written in a certain way (ie. men should wear tuxes and women formal dresses) they could enforce it to the letter, but why do it at all for this kid? All year they let him wear a dress, why discrimiate him for the prom? Seems to be that they are discriminating against him on purpose and that just doesn't seem fair to me.
